@partyof6? Thank you for your kind words as well and I most definitely think I'll be taking you up on the offer of a PM too. I remember you losing your dog just recently a few months back too so thank you for reaching out to me.
How are you doing these days anyway? I think it might have been either here or the Monday BF I read you weren't feeling too sure about things lately and second guessing your upcoming arrival's new role in your family. I just want you to know, I've heard literally everyone I know IRL (from all walks of life) who already have a kid or especially multiple kids with a new baby on the way say the same things you did. Perfectly normal and understandable. May sound shocking to some, but so much more common to feel that way than most people realize. You are not alone. I remember feeling like that even as a FTM. Your kids are so lucky to have a mom like you and it will all fall into place even though it may not seem like it for awhile.
@kswiger06 omg so it just just a one box thing but it was a story about a boy who was possessed by a witch who has been possessing people to kill off a family that wronged her generations ago. Like every 50 years it happens. And there were glyffs that had a code to make it seem like you released her again by reading the journal.
Oooo @PerraSucia that sounds fun? Lol did you find out who sent it to you... or you know, had it sent. When you first mentioned it I had to Google it, but I still didn't really get what it was lol. It just popped in my head though.
So, how is this labor buddy thing supposed to work? We've had several births now but it seems like everyone is just posting about their own...
How it works is you message or text (if that's the case) your LB when the time comes to have the baby and they're the ones who post your updates for you on the labor thread. No one has to follow through with it, especially if you feel you have the time to post yourself. LB may come in handy if you're in the hospital and don't have time or can't access TB to update on your progression.

@Jab3, thank you for thinking of me too! Its just a huge change coming and I am nervous about how it is all going to work. It will, because it has to, and this baby will be so loved by us and the 3 siblings that are completely excited. I am already medicated for anxiety so hopefully that will help me, lol.
As far as the dogs go, I remember in the very beginning just thinking how I needed one person I could text, call etc. when I was sad about her, because my husband was already sad, and my parents had just lost there. I am happy to be your person if you need one! I will watch for PM.

I had some chocolate in our fridge. I noticed it disappearing fast, but thought maybe my husband was eating some too. The kids have their own Christmas candy, and they get a piece almost daily so I really didn't think about it much. Today the bag was empty minus a single piece, so when I asked my kids about it, they told me they ate it after I told them no to candy one day because it was too early. So I sent them to their rooms, and just a few seconds ago my daughter brought me this letter that is from both of them... Dear Mom We're sorry for what we did. We promise we'll make it up to you like giving you all of our Easter candy. But we are really thankful to eat and get caught because if we didn't we'd get sick! We know you're mad but we want to say you're a great mom and thank you for your support. We will accept and do your consequences. p.s please forgive us. love, Taylor and Kayli (Lol, I thought it was funny and kind of cute... I kept the wording but did correct some spelling to be easier to read. I'm wondering what support they are referring to right now. Lol)
@kswiger06 that is the sweetest thing ever! how could you even stay mad though? They're willing to give you their Easter candy. Your kids are precious.

@concreteangell and @Gretchypoo This letter is one of those things I intend to keep forever. It gave me a good chuckle especially since they dated it haha. Sometimes (like right now) it's hard to be firm about not stealing or sneaking things because the outcome is just too much to see coming lol.
Just made the depressing Depends 'n pads purchase at Target. How hilarious is it that they put Werther's candies in the Depends aisle? It's like your one-stop source for all things Grandma.
Omg me too! We went to Costco so I figured I better stock up on. I ended up doing just pads because I didn't need a year supply of adult diapers. At least I hope I don't
I had a bit of a scare last night. I was driving on the interstate from running an errand. I wasn't following anyone close cause H said it was really slippery and I had felt how slippery it was on the roads in town. Well, we passed a spot where two other cars were in the ditch, and a car merged over with not a lot of room. The car in front me slammed on his breaks so I started braking just to make sure I didn't get close to him. I ended up fish tailing to the point where I thought for sure I was going to crash. I finally got it under control, but it took a while. I'm super freaked out about having to drive now

Can you please send me a PM even if it says pretty much nothing lol then I can just copy what I wrote and respond to yours, sorry to be a pain
I tried twice to send one to you and it's not working. I'm so technologically impaired hah kswiger had to walk me through step by step how to switch my profile pic to the one of the yellow lab puppies vs the generic
@kswiger06 see this is why you're so much nicer than me because I'd be like "yeah your note is cute and everything you manipulative little fuckers but where's my replacement candy?"

That's the type of note I would have written as a child. I can be an extremely manipulative little fucker, especially when it comes to the foods

I made them give me some of their candy. I'm not that nice, especially when it comes to chocolate lol.
